CD KAH:jle 2/4/2008

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to finalize the FY
2008 CDBG portion of the community development program. The city received an
entitlement grant of $2,799,800, which was $101,200 less than anticipated
during the budgeting process. The final grant amount was lower than the
projected budget estimate due to additional funding for the defense budget.
The community development committee (CD committee) recommended reducing the
contingency amount first, then equal reductions to public service grant
increases, then program administration and, if needed, equally across the
remainder of the program. The five public service projects all received
increases above their 2007 grant amounts; those increases were reduced by 50
percent.
